My Snake Rack System

[MrAirsoftcore]

what are your cages that you use to breed with and on your video " 50 + snake colletion" or what ever they are you keeo zues in one they ar elike polished wood.. where did you get those

[TheAnonymous357]

Do you keep your heater on ALL the time 24/7? I was wanting to do this, but I'm kind of worried that it would be some type of fire hazard or something? Thanks.

[Tarzan07330]

man, i need to build a rack. right now i have 18 tubs just stacked on top of each other. haha. sucks when i need to put a male with a girl all the way at the bottom of the stack. lol

[gainer2420]

[CamronQB18]

[XcXdualchamp50]

im wanting to make a rack. but im not shure how i will sucessfuly heat it

[mack1time]

@XcXdualchamp50

Heat tape or Heat rope are the best options

[Bloodygeek11]

@mack1time

Hello. I'm very intrsted in these tubes.

My question is

How do you get a hot spot in these tubs??

do heat mats/pads not have ONE temp

but snakes need a cool side and a hot spot

I'd really love your help here its the one thing keeping me back from making tubs

thanks

[MrRavekid]

Hey I want to try breeding corn snakes In about a year, After my 1st one grows up a bit. But I was wondering if i made a rack with say five shelves and and compleatly closed in back. would one giant long heat mat attached to the back of the rack be ok to heat it. and would you recomend putting on a plexi glass door with vets of course for to help with humidity and keeping in heat??? thx nice vid by the way :)

[WillArtInc]

Becareful with those heaters,they throw out a dry heat that can be bad news to an animal that needs humidity! Cool setup though

[mack1time]

@WillArtInc thanks

but is there really anything that throws out wet heat?

I spray often and keep the enclosures humid when needed. Have not had a bad shed in the snake room since 2008

[WillArtInc]

Well,not that I know of,but that's why they make humidifiers.Either way,sounds like you have it covered with spraying and no bad sheds for 2yrs,so that's commendable!Just a general comment for those that do create a dry environment and do not humidify,literally can dry them out!

[SnakesForLife1]

If I got a 74qt bin for my male boa how long can he stay in it?

[WillArtInc]

What kind of boa?

[marissap1988]

how much did it cost in total to build?

[mike101bc]

can i use like cereal boxes and cardboard boxes and stuff like that for my snakes or will that harm them?

[wesleyluvr9]

have u ever gotten bitten bye a snake before?

[mack1time]

I have not been bitten in 5 years with 20 snakes

[pyrokid831]

r u smoking

[gadfader]

@pyrokid831 tottaly smokin a j

[CoreyBryant2008]

where do u get that heat tape stuff????

[HerpsAndSerps]

Can you or anyone tell me where you got the melamine or where I can get it and how much is it per sheet? I can't find it any where online. Help please!! Haha.

[mack1time]

you need a home reno store like home hardware or Home Depot

[HerpsAndSerps]

Ok. Well what kind of wood is it? Mdf? Plywood? Because I was told melamine is the white coating. Thanks.

[CountryQT1989]

Are those tubs you are using the ones with the wheels on them? lol I really like those :)

[Free2flyjj]

Cool. How much did this cost you personally, plus the ginormous bag of aspen. Lol.

[Thiswarisours56212]

howmany quarts are those tubs?

[WMeloDistortion]

look like 41qts

[sukadikaday]

where can i buy heat tape??

[deathrollz]

order it over the internet

[Milksnakelover]

although i wouldnt suggest using it.

i would opt for the safer heat mats.

[1983973]

home depot 2.59 very cheap

[bamf64]

awsome rack systems. im building one for my baby bp just like those. im gonaa use a 2ft tub to start, a 10-20 gal heating pad on one side, a thermostat, aspen or eco earth as a substrate, 2 hides and a water dish.

also, what kind of thermostat would you reccomend? Zoomed reptitemp 500R? Helix?

[avelkhemchan]

Why melamine? That stuff sags horribly. I see a lot of people using it, so just curious. Is it because of the look?

[WMeloDistortion]

with the way he has his set up, it shouldn't sag as much. if he were pulling the tubs sideways there would be way more sagging. people often see melamine as the best compromise between cost, appearance and function.

[c0rnsnakeboy]

i sucribing to you!

your really cool

[c0rnsnakeboy]

nice set up

[fooz99]

nice set up mate

[arabmaster23]

wat do u do 4 heat in yhe tubs???

[fredfredburger5555]

he said he uses heat tape

[WalkWithMe1nHell]

if you watch it, you can see and hear him explain the heat tape on the side ov the rack.

[angelnalison]

thats mad cool :)

[repex99]

hey,would u be intersted in making and selling one to another canadian herper?

[Ballpython63]

lmao right on man i don't think i've ment anyone else who smokes primtimes as a regular instead of an ocasinal thing haha. pinacloata tastes to damn good ;P

[SmokeyDube]

its a honeytime lol :P

[XxXsnakecharmerXxX]

[o8w]

realy cool

[chyeaaitskristyn]

ummmmmm stfu hes a big boy now hes allowed to smoke where ever the fuck he wants!! go away

[mack1time]

thnaks g

[V1perz08]

What is the tub size

[TheSnakeGuy1]

cigarette.lol

[69bajaha]

looks like a rillo to me.... if it's a cig that's pretty weak. tryin to look coo. hah

[DelilahRa]

You smoke around your snakes?! Like you couldn't put down that cancer stick long enough to make a 2 minute video?!?! Wow. Sad.

[mack1time]

people smoke around there dogs, cats etc...

But usually the snake room is smoke free, just happened to have one during this video.

Go bitch at people that smoke when there baby is in the car

[DelilahRa]

I DO!!

[mack1time]

well find something better to do besides bitch then.

Start by getting a life maybe?

[JakeGu11891]

Does the heat tape on the back wall heat that one side of the container well? And wat is the usual temperature with that think?

[mack1time]

works fine when controlled with a dimmer

Also my snake room is at a constant 78-80

[JER5EYDEVIL908]

wat size tubs r those

[ceramickangaroo]

oh cool thanks and will heat pads work?

[mack1time]

anything will work really as long as you regulate with a thermostat and or dimmer

[tevie84]

How are the temps and snakes doing considering your using side heat with the melamine rack? Because I think most racks are belly heat. I am building my rack and using the heat tape along the side saves alot of money with the heat tape compared to each individual rack being heated with belly heat.

[mack1time]

works great.

However my room is heated and the heat tape is controlled by a dimmer

[ceramickangaroo]

Hey can those tubs work for a ball python?

[mack1time]

You could use tubs half the size for Adult ball pythons.

I have seen adult malee boas in these tubs with lotsa room.

[repex99]

where abouts in canada?

[mack1time]

Calgary

[repex99]

o im in kamloops bc

[coclhs944]

how long did it take to build

[mack1time]

a few weekends

[communistcat]

talk to me about the heat tap dude, were did you get it? how much does it cost? how did you wire it?...i need to figure out how im going to heat the 6 stack rack my brother and i built for our pythons.

[mack1time]

you will have to ask reptile people in your area. It comes in a few sizes including 3 inch and 11 inch. I think I paid 6$ a foot for the 11 inch. It is very low wattage and can be controlled with a dimmer or a thermostat. Be careful if using a dimmer to check temps often and should be backed up with a thermostat or rheostat. I am in canada and I asked people on the canadian forums till I found a supplier in my area who cut and wired it all for me ! Hope that helps CAT

[merseysidesnakemorph]

the set up in this clip is NOT enough heat to keep & breed boids.

[communistcat]

dude he has 11 inch heat tape on that rack. thats enough heat to melt the tubs without a thermostat.

[merseysidesnakemorph]

Sorry mate, they just tend to be low wattage over here.

[thurdas]

how did you wire the house plug to the dimmer

[mack1time]

had a qualified electrition help me!!!

[spicehead2k7]

very nice =D

u sure that heat tames enough?

[mack1time]

I check temps regularly and Yes it can get hot enough to melt the plastic if not regulated and controlled so it is pleny hot if needed!

[l31gh15]

sweet

[BleedingForBreath]

lol u should quit smoking

[mack1time]

i don't smoke. I have like 1 cigar every couple days!

[BleedingForBreath]

oh, ok

[Skydude69]

THat's pretty ingenious buddy. I've got a plan for a 4' H by 6' L by 2 1/2 D Oak plywood cage I'm gonna build. Hopefully I'll have it done by the end of the year. I'll let ya know.

[MUFFDADDY2]

i wish i wasnt so lazy! we are going to slowly buy those EXTREMLY EXPENSIVE vision cages! thats the only way we can fit those large cages that many of our reptile need! they need upgrades badly...soon they will have plenty of room

[Squamatakid]

nice rack ^^

[avenger7557]

two things lol.. where do you buy heat tape at?? and quit smoking lol thats all peace

[mack1time]

its hard to buy in canada since it is not CSA approved

[Silverfang797]

do you have a ball python

[Skydude69]

He doesn't have any pythons. Corn snakes and boas only. He's like me. doesn't like pythons.

[ReptilesXrule]

why dont you like pythons lol? there literally the same

[Skydude69]

These snakes have some things in common: they are constrictors, killing their prey by wrapping around it and suffocating it, and they are considered primitive snakes with two lungs (most snakes only have one) and remnants of hind legs and pelvic bones. But they have differences, too. Pythons have one more bone in their heads than boas do and some additional teeth.

[Skydude69]

Pythons are found in the Old World (Africa, Asia, Australia) while boas live in both the Old World and the New World (North, Central, and South America). One of the biggest differences is that pythons lay eggs while boas give birth to live young. Also, pythons have more pronounced heat pits along the labial ridge. Then there are the behavioral differences. As a rule of thumb boas tend to be more docile and calm down very quickly after bing born. Pythons tend to be more aggressive and

[Skydude69]

tend to be picky eaters. Also, I just don't fins pythons to be aesthetically pleasing. Whereas I find boas to be very beautiful. There's my two cents.

[ReptilesXrule]

true. i find pythonsm, escpecially ball pythons to be very attractive, but boas are cool to.

[Skydude69]

to each his own man.

[ReptilesXrule]

i guess? lol
